Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it look as though they′re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I′m not half the man I used to be
There′s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Chorus:
Why she had to go I don′t know, she wouldn′t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
